GPE maintains leasing momentum ahead of ERV
During the quarter to 30 September 2018, Great Portland Estates
plc ("GPE") signed 24 new lettings across 90,000 sq ft, generating
a combined annual rent of GBP5.3 million (GPE share: GBP4.4
million) with market lettings 6.5% ahead of the March 2018 ERV.
This included two further office lettings at 160 Old Street, EC1,
where we let the fifth and sixth floors to Pusher and Bosch
respectively for a combined rent of GBP1.5 million equating to
GBP66.00 per sq ft, 9.1% above March 2018 ERV. The building is now
87% let with only two office floors remaining.
GPE also settled seven rent reviews in the quarter, securing
GBP2.4 million of rent (our share: GBP2.3 million), representing an
increase of 16.3% over the previous rent and 3.2% ahead of ERV.
In total, GPE has signed 135,400 sq ft of new lettings since the
start of the financial year (1 April 2018), generating a combined
annual rent of GBP8.1 million (GPE share: GBP6.3 million), with
market lettings 4.8% ahead of March 2018 ERV. Today we have a
further 38,600 sq ft under offer for a combined rent of GBP1.7
million, 1.8% ahead of March 2018 ERV.
Toby Courtauld, Chief Executive, said:
"We are pleased to report another quarter of positive leasing
activity. We continue to see sustained occupier demand for our high
quality space, leasing ahead of the valuer's ERV and capturing
portfolio reversion."
